Intro to Watercolor Landscape with Rick Osann

Description

Intro to Watercolor Landscape with Rick Osann Wednesdays, 1:30 - 3:30 PM, May 7 - June 18 in the Kaleidoscope Studio Join instructor Rick Osann for a seven-week introduction to watercolor with a focus on landscapes. Watercolor is a fun and freeing form of painting that allows paint, paper, water and artist to play together to create luminous works of landscape art. This course is open to everyone and is perfect for beginners or those who are new to the medium. This studio-based course class will explore tools, materials and basic skills with the intent of finding each participant?s vision of the landscape. Over the course of seven-weeks, participants will cover visual art basics such as the elements and principles of design, color, light and shadow, basic drawing and perspective, and how to use them to improve our designs. Drawing experience is not needed. Participants will paint in every class, and will tackle more complex challenges each week and will end the course with at least one completed landscape painting. *No experience necessary | All materials supplied Rick Osann has been painting in watercolor since the early 1970?s. After various careers as a professional Scenic Artist working for stage, film & TV in New York City, and teaching art/theatre/film at Bonny Eagle High School in southern Maine, Rick is now happily focusing on his painting in Bar Harbor, Maine, one of the beautiful places of our world, in his studio adjacent to Acadia National Park. From his background as a theatrical set and lighting designer, Rick is most interested in exploring light, shadow and color in dramatic moments of nature through his painting. His work celebrates the beauty of the Maine landscape.
